Re-release for The Gathering by S.L. Dearing

Cover Reveal and Re-Release Party for

The Gathering: Book One of the Lia
Fail Chronicles by S.L. Dearing

Synopsis:

Another world war has happened and everything we knew is
now gone. There are no more countries. No more government... only
survivors who have created a new world made up of small colonies. It
has been thirteen years and the village of Lia Fail sits peacefully above the
Hollywood Reservoir in the Santa Monica Mountains. The settlement is
making ready

to host the fall Gathering, a time
where every six months the other colonies from various parts of what was
once Southern California visit for ten days of fun and reminiscence.
The Gathering begins as any other party. A time
for new loves, old friends, family, dancing and fun, but all too soon
that changes. The people in Lia Fail begin to experience strange
goings on they can't explain, unseen forces attack several guests and
friends begin to distrust friends. When they receive news of a
horrific massacre, they realize they must face an impending dark evil that
threatens to descend on the tranquil village.

Alia Stark, the queen of Lia Fail, must face this darkness.
But she will face the evil along side her oldest and
dearest friends, as well as an amazing new ally. The fate of her people,
the lives of her children and freedom itself rests in her hands.
Will she have the courage to do what must be done?

This is the beginning of a journey
that will change all of their lives forever.

The Gathering: Book One of the Lia
Fail Chronicles is the first in a
new Paranormal, Fantasy, and Adventure Series.
